that the next time it was done be
would ask the court to excuse him
entirely from the jury. Lipscomb
turned pale. When will the time
come when the colOred man will be
treated with respect by the District
Attorney? 1t was but a few days
ago that the president pardoned
Cephus Jones from the peniten

that he was convicted on in

THE GRAND ARMY.
PROF. JOHNSON ADDRESS.

Last Sunday afternoon Morton
Post, No. 4, G.. A. r., was pres
ent at the second Baptist Church,
aud listened to a logical and elo-
quent historical memorial sermon
by the Rev. w. Bishop johnson.
pastor vf the church. The SER
mon was delivered 10 an immense
audience, and drew forth COM
menis from the Rev. Waring, of
Berean Bap ist Church, Col. Geo.
NJ. Arnold and Maj. G. b. Fisher,
of Grand Army circles. Rev.
johnson referred to the causes of
the war, and discussed the rela-
tons of the colored soldier to the
triumph of our national armies.
He said the white soldier will be
praised for defending his liberty,
but the colored soldier will be
praised because having NO liberty,
he purchased it by his own blood
in the great struggle of justice a.
gainst oppression.
The colored soldier unlocked
his own prison-hcuse and set his
fellow bondmen free. He said
that Providence had all to do
with the emancipation, and re-
ferred to the anti-slavery work
ers as instruments in Gods hands.
God had ordained that the hand
which drove the oxen and the
mule, should drive the pen In of
fee and committing room, and
sway the sceptre of power in po-
sitlons of honor and trust.
We cannot do justice to this a.
BILE effort of the gifted and elo-
quent divine. After the sermon
Miss Waring rendered a very
touching solo, in her inimitable
way and $4,000 was contributed
for the new building. Rev. John
son deserves great credit for the
success of the occasion.

MORE LAWYERS.

Congregational Church was fill
ed last Monday night with the
friends of the graduating law class
of 'S7 of Howard University.
Krause's orchestra furnished the
music, and at Z AS, as the audi
ence entered the church, an over
ture, "Silver Cross" was played.
At the close the class entered and
took the seats assigned them on
the platform.
The form of Rev. w. w. Patton,
D. D. l.. L. D., was the first to be
seen, and he was followed by the
law faculty and the class, which
comprised only four. Prayer was
offered by the Rev. Frank j.
Grimke. Hon. Edward Lander,
Judge S. R. Bond and b. F. Leigh
ton, were announced as the com.
mittee for awarding prizes.
Mr.. William B:rney made an ex-
cellent address to the graduates.

on prizes made known their choice
aud the honors fell on Mr.. w. H

package from President Patton
and it was whispered around that
it contained $50.

The election of Prof. Geo. W.
Cook, to fill the chair of mathemat.
les in Howard University, is a de-
served promotion of a worthy
young man. Prof. Cook roughed
through school and has fought his
way forward ever since. 1t is graft
flying to see young men qualifying
themselves to teach in their Alma
Mata and it is pleasing to note the
recognition the trustees are giving
them. Meantime it is hoped that
Prof. Hugh Brown merits as Pro
fessor of German and Physics will
be considered.

A DESERVING MAN.

M. John w. Curry, an old resi-.
dent of this city and the first color
ed letter carrier ever appointed in
the city, is confined to a sick bed.
This faithful public servant has the
respect and confidence of the very
best colored and white citizens in
this city. If there is man who
deserves promotion it is Mr.. Curry.
1t is our belief that Postmaster
Frank Conger, has no prejudice a.
galnst any man on account of his
color, and in the course of time, OF
before his retirement from Office,
he will promote Mr.. Curry.
The very best citizens have testi-
fed to Mr.. Curry's faithfulness and
attention to duty. The life of a
letter carrier is hard one, and it
there is any class of public ser
wants who demand fair treatment
we believe it is the letter carriers.
Through all kinds of weather
these faithful public servants can
be seen. They either bring you
good or bad news, business of i'm
portance or whatever the case NAV
be. To the letter carriers the peo-
pie are indebted. 1t is hoped that
Mr.. Curry may recover speedily
and resume his duties at the CITY
Post Office.
